Place Name
Originally Ferry Lane. Although only developed in 1908, this street follows the ancient route from Barn Elms to the Chiswick Ferry that would cross to Chiswick Church, which until the building of Hammersmith Bridge in 1827 was the only direct way of getting to the other side between Putney and Kew. There had been a ferry service across the River Thames since at least the 16thCentury it ended sometime around the 1930s.
